Blower

The external blower pushes air through blower duct to the fireplace, where it is heated and
distributed into the room. The blower may be located to draw air from the exterior of the home,
producing positive pressure inside the home. Or, if desired, the blower may be located to draw
air from the interior of the home.

Do not draw air from confined areas or from
a garage or area containing fumes or
emissions. The blower inlet must be a
minimum 36" below any exhaust vent.
The blower may be installed to draw air from
a crawl space or attic if approved by local
building codes. NOTE: certain codes
require a fire curtain in these cases.

Blower Duct Connection

The shorter the blower duct, the
greater the air flow.
Connect the blower duct to the
right, left, or bottom of the
fireplace. Each location is
sealed with a cover plate (use a
5/16" nutdriver to remove cover
plate). If using the bottom
location, remove the 8-1/2" by
6-1/4" air deflector directly
above the cover plate and attach
the duct to the 6" hole above the
deflector. Insert the starter
section into the blower hook-up
hole and bend the flanges
outwards, locking the starter
section in place.
Attach the flex duct to the collar on the blower box and start collar using duct tape and/or screws
The maximum length for 6" diameter blower duct is 15' (use the included duct & start collar)
